110. Genus: I*asteosia Hmps. 
Proboscis well developed; the short, slender palpi are somewhat erect, not extending to the vertex. 
Abdomen roughly haired. Forewing narrow with a curved costal margin; the two lower radial, veins rise on 
a short footstalk, the upper one rises from the upper cell-angle; the 1st subcostal anastomoses with the costal. 
Veins on the hindwings as in the preceding genera. 2 African and 2 Indo-Australian species. 
P. albescens Rothsch. Antennae brown; head white; thorax and abdomen whitish-grey; forewings albescens. 
greyish-white, dusted ash-grey; at the base of the cell one small dark spot, at the cell-end two; in the marginal 
area 3 indistinct, grey transverse lines. Hindwings light yellowish-grey. Angabunga River. 
P. orientalis Hmps. Head and thorax pale ochreous-yellow, base of palpi blackish. Abdomen above orienialis. 
greyish-white, beneath ochreous-yellow. Forewing ochreous-yellow, watered with a blackish brown; in the 
middle of the cell there is a small black streak and at the end 2 discal dots. A postmedian, curved, faded brownish 
line and towards the proximal angle antemarginal, small, dark spots; at the margin there are brown dots; the 
fringes are whitish. Hindwings grey, tinted blackish-brown with white fringes. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. 
Singapore. 
111. Genus: Parasliada Hmps. 
Proboscis developed, palpi porrect, not extending beyond the round projection of the forehead, below 
which there is a horny plate, d antennae with ciliae and bristles; tibial spurs medium strong. In the $ the 
forewing beneath shows a long, hairy costal fold. Veins extremely disarranged. Vein 2 rises from the middle 
of the cell; behind vein 3 the median bends upwards and backwards to the lower angle of the very long areola 
before its end, from which the veins 4 and 5 branch off; 6 from the areola; 7, 8, 9 petioled, 10 and 11 from 
the areola. Hindwing broad, costal area very convex, cell very narrow; vein 2 rises before its middle, 3 with 
4 on a short footstalk; 5 is absent, 6 anastomoses with 7, 8 is strongly curved. 
P. truncata Hmps. <$: head and thorax orange, abdomen dark brown, beneath orange; forewings truncata 
dull red-brown. Costal half of the hindwing light yellow, the proximal half dull brown. 24 mm. Sula Mongoli. 
112. Genus: Agylla Wkr. 
A large number of species from the Indo-Australian and American regions, of a rather characteristic 
exterior: rather slender, mostly narrow-winged animals distinguished by the abdomen being particularly strongly 
haired and mostly provided with hairtufts. Proboscis well developed, the erect palpi do not reach the vertex. 
On the forewing the two lower radial veins rise petioled or from the cell; an accessory cell is present. On the 
hindwing the two lower radial veins are likewise petioled or rise from the cell; the same is the case with the 
subcostal and 1st radial. The antennae are longer or shorter doubly combed or ciliated. Many species exhibit 
long-haired scent-scale-spots. 
M. apicalis Moore (15 g) has blackish-brown wings with a purple reflection and white apex; collar apicalis. 
orange. Sikkim. 
A. albifinis Wkr. (Vol. II, t. 12 f) is lighter greyish-brown, the white apical spot is larger and also albifinis. 
the hindwing show's a white border at the apex. In the North West Himalaya, extending into the palearctic 
region. 
A. divisa Moore (15 g). Head and thorax blackish-brown, abdomen grey. Forewdng yellowish, the divisa. 
costa and a broad inner-marginal stripe blackish-brown with a purple reflection. Hindwings dull yellow. Sikkim, 
Borneo. 
A. bisecta Rothsch. Antennae brown, palpi red-brown, head yellowish-red; thorax and abdomen bisecta. 
slate-coloured, on the last segment an orange-reddish ring. Forewdng pale yellow-reddish from the base to the 
margin at the low'er median vein, the rest slate-coloured. Hindwings yellowish-red. Length of forewings: 22 mm. 
Kina-balu (North Borneo). 
A. beema Moore (15 g) is easily recognizable by the red-browm forewings and orange-yellow hindwings beema. 
with a large brown inner-marginal spot. Sikkim. 
A. metaxantha Hmps. (15 h) has likewise brown and orange hindwings, the latter, however, exhibit metaxantha. 
a brown distal margin. Bhutan.
